This is in relation to a concern a user brought to my attention on en.wikipedia.org, and which I posted a note on Jimmy Wale's talk page about. I was instructed that meta might deal with what I describe, and I basically followed the links to mailing lists and to here. Essentially, to distill this, a user on the hebrew wikipedia, Itay, was blocked from editing his wikipedia over bad blood between him and one of the admins (essentially he created a list where he detailed what he believed were one admin's wrongful actions. It was deleted and he was subsequently blocked.) Upon appealing to other admins, filing and RfC, which was removed, filing another and another over various "errors" in the filing process, and appealing directly to the essential "head" of he.wiki, he went from being blocked for a week to being permanently banned. I have corresponded with Itay on numerous occasions and he has links to all the relevant info, and I believe he has a strong case that the administrators, or at least four of them, are acting in a totalitarian and outrightly frightening way to block and remove edits they deem harmful. Even more worrisome is that there is no way to appeal to have these admins reviewed on he.wiki. I have received other emails from other users on he.wiki expressing their similar concern, quote, "The Hebrew Wikipedia is rotten from the top down. Plenty of wikipedians who could've contributed a lot to he have been banned or scared off for either no reason or very minor reasons." Or, to take part of a run-on sentence, "Several admins have even clearly stated that "some users are more equal than others" (hinting at admins > registered users > anonymous users). It's impossible to have a vote within the community to revoke the admins' rights as people who have opposed them have either been banned or aren't going to vote against them because if they do and the rights aren't revoked they'll be picked on". Frankly, I'm stumped as to where to turn. This went from a simple AMA request to a whirlwind of tossabouts. What I am sure I need is a hebrew/english ambassador who's nuetral in this conflict, who I can send the evidence to confrim (m Hebrew is pretty basic); I also have trascriptions for anyone interested. I just have no idea what to do now... I'm appealing to anyone who has an idea of what my action should now be.
